Alicante's Market Square beckons foodies and gourmands to explore with a local chef. Fish, seafood, oysters, and other produce typical of the area are piled high on the stalls. Your chef-guide from a nearby restaurant will explain the products and how they're used specifically in this region. Watch for salaçones -- the dried and salted fish that is a favorite with the people of the province. The market itself is a fascinating hub of commerce and activity -- an excellent venue for people-watching.
Next, visit a typical Spanish restaurant to taste the products that you saw at the market. This is a delicious introduction to Alicante and the Valencia Region.
You're in the vicinity of the bullring, the Plaza de Luceros and the Old Town. Keep an eye out for some of these highlights as you travel.
